       | There's a video [1] and info page [2].

       | It was able to import images from KoalaPad, convert, and render
       | it fullscreen using sprites both inside and outside the C64's
       | border.

       | I will definitely take time to read the full article, it's super
       | interesting at first glance.

       | I also really appreciated the way this write up started with
       | background information providing context for the uninitiated, and
       | clearly laying out what the author set out to do and why. A
       | crucial feature that's omitted far too often. Bravo.
